A Sounding near the Summit of Gush Halav (pp. 41–50)

A small salvage excavation was undertaken on the summit of the hill of Gush Halav in the Upper Galilee. Meager architectural remains were uncovered, probably originating in the Late Roman–Byzantine periods, with later additions in the eleventh century CE. By the thirteenth century CE the architectural complex went out of use, as evidenced by the pottery finds. The pottery dates to Iron Age II, the Persian–Hellenistic, Late Roman–Byzantine, Fatimid and Crusader/Ayyubid periods.
